2. BEFOREH
AND
One of the four major fruit crops grown in the Philippines
is mango (Mangifera Indica). It has been considered as the
national fruit of the country due to its several uses and
rising importance and high potential both in the local and
world market. Mangoes are eaten as raw, cooked, frozen,
preserved or dried. Ripe mangoes are used for
confectioneries, ice cream, sherbet, and bakery products
while unripe mangoes (usually the Indian variety) are a
good source of juice. The demand for processed mango is
increasing, as seen in the proliferation of mango products
in supermarkets and groceries.
